?? Fujifilm GFX 100 S will be a new medium format mirrorless which may have a similar design to a rangefinder solution rather than DSLR. All this without forgetting the sensor from well 102 MPixel and the potential of the medium format. ??

We have talked in the past about the arrival of some news from the Japanese manufacturer. Now it seems to be outlining what will be the next medium format mirrorless : it could be called Fujifilm GFX 100 S and will always be a solution from 100 MPixel resolution but with a new design to make it more compact.

What will the new Fujifilm GFX look like 100 S?

We don’t know exactly what this will look like new camera but, according to rumors, we could see what has already been seen with Sony A7 III and A7c. A body with a different shape with a common technical base thus allowing to give the user more choice in handling but without using huge resources in research and development.

Just like in the case of Sony, also by Fujifilm GFX 100 S we will see a camera body similar to that of a rangefinder camera rather than a DSLR. This should make it look like a GFX 12 R rather than a GFX 100. A novelty will be the IBIS which could have the same (or even better) performances but with more compact dimensions.

This will allow you to have a solution less ” studio “ and more a camera all to do and also easier to carry in external services or when traveling. With all the advantage of having 102 MPixel or up to 400 MPixel thanks to the latest firmware. The arrival of the new Fujifilm GFX 100 S is expected for the first part of 2021 and the price will probably be almost in line with that of the original version (around 8000 euros).
